AltaVista has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right now.

This is really important. SPLC needs your help to fend off this insane attack by the compromised DOJ. Please support the helpers.

The people running this country are actually the worst people. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04...

And more importantly, I think, how to win them back:

If you weren’t already boycotting Target, boycott Target. Also? My free advice reading this is never, ever use self-checkout. Never. Not worth risking this.

In case you needed another reason to never ever shop at Target again, here’s a story of a school teacher mom arrested on a Sunday afternoon based on a false claim with no evidence that she shoplifted from the self-checkout line

I miss clever, sober, focused leadership. I hope our Canadian friends will forgive us some day, but I recognize that it won't be any time soon.

I don't like to do this, but I could really use a new gig. If you need somebody to write about your tech products and projects, I'm your guy. If you know somebody who needs to sell things, reach new audiences, or tell some jokes, I'd love to talk to you. bobtherieau.com

So maybe my dumbass cohort can stop chewing on the flaky paint chips?

Enormously looking forward to this event on April 21 at 6:30pm ET (online!) with the amazing @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social talking about their new book, The AI Con. Register here: virginia.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Dozens of people showing up at members’ town halls in 2009 was enough for The Media to declare the Tea Party Movement™️ as a key force in American politics — for years — as the Obama administration was getting going. Consider that when you see how those same papers cover today’s protests.

As I posted in the other thread, I'm not in favor of outing closeted people who mind their own business. But closeted politicians who undermine out LGBTQ people's rights are fair game. So let despicable Lindsey have it, Dr. Annie Andrews!

Men need to women up and know when to help. This is the domestic violence hand signal.

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

People are sharing this post, so here’s the actual Makerworld link: makerworld.com/models/12247...

As state terror amps up, here's a list of actions you can take now-- a lot of resources and a list of upcoming virtual trainings on a number of topics:

Have them on the broadcast! Let them say it with their full chest and put their name and face on it.

The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.

Agree. No one outside the US, who has a choice, should be enabling a lawless and lying regime. Which has become a threat to its own people and the entire world. (Speaking as an American patriot.)

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

It's super important that nobody sees this, especially "well-respected people." I mean, not you and me, but the other people. And please don't be mean about AI.

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

I thought that somebody spoke to Tom Brady, but when he mentioned “the juice” once again, we both shouted, “ewwwww!” #Seahawks

Yes, they could. And it could be a huge test.

Took a peek at LinkedIn for a laugh. Posts about hustle culture, motivational sayings, tripping over their egos. I guarantee a majority of those folks are still unhappy. FSCK "success". Be happy. That's what I did. And now, I play with old computers for a living.

Hey CA Dems, did you get a fundraising email from @ericswalwell.bsky.social saying that the #49ers would win today? I like the guy, but my #Seahawks are looking pretty good so far.

@schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov, is this true? Are you going ahead with a funding bill for ICE? Especially after what Senator Padilla has been through? Stop funding these people. Most Americans want this stopped.

Roses are red Nazis are lurking Beware of them here because

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1

Because of course

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars: / Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform. / Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks. / Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

More drag in sports, please

the government's paramilitary stormtroopers quite literally went from murdering a woman to tear gassing high school children in the same day.

Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-deepf...

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

I'm sure there's a reason why ESPN on-air personalities are so horny for the San Francisco 49ers and can't be bothered with the Seahawks, but I can't imagine what it might be. Missing a dynasty story? I don't get it.

I frequently criticize the Times on various fronts. With great size/power comes great responsibility. But it's always important to remember that really only they have the resources and capacity to put stuff like this together. These are like genome maps of the Trump corruption machine.
